[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are briefly described below:

[0028] According to some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a load warning device for a photovoltaic power station, the load warning device comprising:

[0029] Inverter, the input end of the inverter receives the output of the photovoltaic power station;

[0030] A transformer, wherein the primary coil of the transformer is connected to the output terminal of the inverter;

[0031] A rectifier and filter circuit, wherein the input end of the rectifier and filter circuit is connected to the secondary coil of the transformer;

[0032] A comparison circuit, wherein a first input terminal of the comparison circuit is connected to the output terminal of the rectifier and filter circuit, and a second input terminal of the comparison circuit is connected to the reference source circuit;

[0033] The control module and the prompt module are connected to the comparison circuit and the prompt module respectively. When the voltage of the photovoltaic power station is lower than the preset threshold, the control module controls the prompt module to issue a load warning prompt.

[0034] The general operating principle of the above embodiment is as follows: after receiving the output of the photovoltaic power station, the inverter converts the direct current (DC) power from the photovoltaic power station into alternating current (AC). The transformer steps down the inverted AC power to a voltage suitable for measurement. The rectifier and filter circuit then rectifies and filters the stepped-down AC power into a stable DC power supply V1. A comparator circuit then compares the DC power supply V1 with a reference source stabilized by a reference source circuit. When the output voltage of the photovoltaic power station is stable, the voltage of the DC power supply V1 is higher than the voltage of the reference source. The comparator circuit outputs a first signal to the control module, which determines that the voltage of the photovoltaic power station is stable and disables the prompt module. When the output voltage of the photovoltaic power station decreases and falls below a preset threshold, the voltage of the DC power supply V1 is lower than the voltage of the reference source. The comparator circuit outputs a second signal to the control module, which determines that the voltage of the photovoltaic power station is unstable and activates the prompt module to issue a load warning, prompting personnel to prepare for potential grid fluctuations.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix of this manual Figures 1 to 5 , the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are further elaborated in detail.

[0036] According to some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the load warning device also includes a voltage divider circuit, which includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the output end of the rectifier and filter circuit, the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of the second resistor R2 and the first input end of the comparison circuit, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is grounded.

[0037] According to some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the comparison circuit includes a comparator U, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4 and a fifth resistor R5. The non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U is connected to the other end of the first resistor R1 and one end of the second resistor R2 through the third resistor R3. The inverting input terminal of the comparator U is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4. The other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the reference source circuit. The output terminal of the comparator U is connected to one end of the fifth resistor R5. The other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the control module.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 3As shown, the load warning device also includes a delay circuit, which is arranged between the comparison circuit and the control module. The delay circuit includes a PNP transistor QP, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. The base of the PNP transistor QP is connected to the positive electrode of the first capacitor C1 and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 through the sixth resistor R6, the emitter of the PNP transistor QP is connected to one end of the seventh resistor R7, one end of the second capacitor C2 and the control module, the other end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the second power supply V2, the collector of the PNP transistor QP is connected to one end of the eighth resistor R8, and the negative electrode of the first capacitor C1, the other end of the second capacitor C2 and the other end of the eighth resistor R8 are grounded;

[0039] When the voltage of the photovoltaic power station is lower than the preset threshold and continues for a set period of time, the control module controls the prompt module to issue a load warning prompt.

[0040] Based on the operating principle of the above embodiment, comparator U compares DC power supply V1 with a reference source stabilized by a reference source circuit. When the output voltage of the photovoltaic power station is stable, the voltage of DC power supply V1 is higher than the voltage of the reference source. Comparator U outputs a high-level signal to the base of PNP transistor QP, turning off the PNP transistor QP. The control module receives the high-level signal and determines that the voltage of the photovoltaic power station is stable, deactivating the prompt module. When the output voltage of the photovoltaic power station falls below a preset threshold for a set period of time, the voltage of DC power supply V1 falls below the voltage of the reference source. Comparator U outputs a low-level signal to the base of PNP transistor QP, turning on the PNP transistor QP. The control module receives the low-level signal and determines that the voltage of the photovoltaic power station is unstable. The prompt module activates the load warning prompt, prompting personnel to prepare for possible power grid fluctuations.

[0041] The preset threshold is determined by the voltage of the reference source, which can be set according to actual needs. The set duration is determined by the charging time of the first capacitor C1, which is determined by the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0042] According to some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the reference source circuit includes a first NPN transistor QN1, a Zener diode DZ, a ninth resistor R9 and a third capacitor C3. The collector of the first NPN transistor QN1 is connected to one end of the ninth resistor R9, one end of the third capacitor C3 and the third power supply V3. The base of the first NPN transistor QN1 is connected to the other end of the ninth resistor R9 and the cathode of the Zener diode DZ. The anode of the Zener diode DZ and the other end of the third capacitor C3 are grounded. The emitter of the first NPN transistor QN1 is connected to the other end of the fourth resistor R4.

[0043] The reference source circuit is used to stabilize the voltage. When the output voltage of the photovoltaic power station decreases, the reference source circuit can still be stabilized at an interval value, so that the comparator U can compare the output voltage of the photovoltaic power station to see if it has decreased.

[0044] According to some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the load warning device also includes a prompt module, which includes a second NPN transistor QN2, a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11 and a prompt light LED.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the prompt module further includes a twelfth resistor R12 and a speaker LS. The emitter of the second NPN transistor QN2 is connected to the positive electrode of the speaker LS through the twelfth resistor R12, and the negative electrode of the speaker LS is grounded.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the prompt module further includes a diode D, the cathode of the diode D is connected to the anode of the speaker LS, and the anode of the diode D is connected to the cathode of the speaker LS.

[0047] The speaker LS is provided with an inductive element, and the diode D is used to allow the inductive element inside the speaker LS to continue to flow through the diode D when the speaker LS is powered off.

[0048] According to some embodiments, the rectifier and filter circuit includes a rectifier bridge, a fourth capacitor C4, and a fifth capacitor C5. The input end of the rectifier bridge is connected to the secondary coil of the transformer. The positive output end of the rectifier bridge is connected to the positive electrode of the fourth capacitor C4, one end of the fifth capacitor C5, and one end of the first resistor R1. The negative output end of the rectifier bridge serves as a ground, and the negative electrode of the fourth capacitor C4 and the other end of the fifth capacitor C5 are grounded. The rectifier bridge is used to rectify alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The fourth capacitor C4 is a large capacitor used to filter low frequencies. The fifth capacitor C5 is a small capacitor used to filter high frequencies.

[0049] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0050] While the present disclosure has been described with reference to several exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary rather than restrictive. Since the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit or substance of the application, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
